Davespeak: Swarthmore to New York
"Thank you. Thank you. I have like, twenty friends that uh. What happened? I have like, twenty friends that went to Swarthmore, but I only met them after they'd long. I just thought I'd tell you that. They're all living in New York now. What does that mean? New York. I love New York. We're up there now in New York. Near New York. Just outside of New York. That's where we're living now. I bought a house standing over the autumn leaves. It's lovely."
Dave And Tim In C'Ville!
Much like the Dave and Tim show for charity in Seattle back in December, Dave and Tim will gather in Charlottesville August 20, again to raise money through Just Give. The show will take place at the nTelos Wireless Pavillion.
As an added bonus, Warren Haynes Band will perform right down the street (at the Jefferson Theater) as soon as Dave and Tim's show is done!

Interview with The White Buffalo at Bonnaroo 2011
By Rob Banagale
As part of Weekly Davespeak's coverage of Bonnaroo 2011, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jake Smith, primary performing artist of The White Buffalo. The White Buffalo is a folk rock act out of California featuring lyrics and music that reflect on darkness and love.
Jake Smith began writing songs in high shool with no clear direction to become a song writer or a musician. With scant connections in the live music scene, he got his first solo gigs by calling up venues and performing short versions of his songs on voicemail messages. This grass roots effort was successful in securing a number of his early gigs.
Irregular gigs proved insufficient in satisfying Smith's musical leanings. Wanting to be heard, he began personally distributing tapes of his songs. When he was living in San Francisco, Smith would record collections of songs on tape for birthday and Christmas gifts to friends. One of the tapes ended up getting circulated in the surf community in Southern California.
